Hi all,

I am new to this forum, but I am not new to detailing. I did, however, recently get a PC 7424 for Christmas and I got my mom to order it from AutoGeek.;) I got all the LC pads, a backing plate and the whole XMT line. So far, I love it all.

Click here to see what I can do with it all...2006 BMW 750Li and 1999 Mercedes CLK 320 (Lots of pics.) - Autopia Car Detailing Forum (http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/84466-2006-bmw-750li-1999-mercedes-clk-320-lots-pics.html)

As you can see, I am also a member of Autopia. I visit there quite often. But, I decided to joint his forum also to get different views. As we all know, some forums can be really bias towards certain products. I just want to hear different opinions. I also order most of my stuff from AutoGeek and the 10% discount for forum members didn't hurt my decision either.:D

At any rate, it is good to be here.:)

Welcome!
I think you will find AutoGeek a lot more personal and family like. The other site is not nearly as friendly as the people here.

:iagree: I was on the other one first but since I joined here I haven't really been back. I have learned more here and that is all that matters. :cheers:

Welcome to AG, you seem to know some stuff about detailing. That Mercedes looks really good. Hopefully you will enjoy AG as much as everyone else around here. I personally ask lots of questions because I'm just getting started on detailing but I'm sure you will fit in here with the more experianced guys/gals.

Welcome

Thanks. Yeah, I know a few things, but I am still learning a lot also. I guess even the most experienced detailer can still learn some stuff here and there.

I know I will enjoy it here.

Yeah, I might just have to come up with a line of detailing clothing with all the responses I have received.lol

I would also like to try out Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant.

I'm sure I left a few things out of the list, but those listed are pretty much what I use the most.

Is there anything you recommend I try. Maybe something that is better than a product I am currently using. I am mostly interested in good trim dressing as I know Armor All isn't the best one and maybe a good tire gel.

I guess just make a recommendation or I am sure I will eventually find something else I would like to try.:D
